we have been going to the beach a lot over the summer, and the kids have been finding crabs washed to shore as part of that. Like all toddlers, they're also pretty into Octonaughts...
So today, when they saw crabs at the seafood counter (just caught!) we had to get some.
The kids were great with it- they loved feeling the smooth shell and touching the buggy eyes. My son dropped one into the boiling water, and they both tried some of the flesh.
I had to tell them it was "sugar chicken" to get them to attempt it. My daughter LOVED it. Like a little butcher bird, she kept asking for more more more.
My son was far less convinced... Still- a delightful and fun food experiment...
